Expert Answers about Honda HR-V


  • Kuat Transfer or Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack on 2020 Honda HR-V?
  • The Curt Hitch # C11416 for your 2020 Honda HR-V is a Class I hitch with a 200 tongue weight capacity. For that reason, the Yakima HoldUp # Y02445 is actually not compatible with this hitch since it is designed for Class II 1-1/4" hitch receivers. They did that because it can carry heavy electric bikes of up to 60 lbs each. 120 lbs of bike weight plus the 50 lbs rack weight can come close to maxing out Class I hitches. Either way, I would still prefer the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR for...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Honda HR-V for Bike Rack
  • For your 2017 Honda HR-V we have the EcoHitch 2" receiver hitch # 306-X7322 that you can use with your 4-bike rack as long as you stay under the 300-pound tongue limit when you add the weight of the bike rack and the weight of the bikes. This should not be a problem. Check out the review and installation video I attached for more info. The other hitch available for your HR-V, the Curt # C11416, is a class I with a 1-1/4" opening. It would only allow you to carry 2 bikes even if the...

  • Does Yakima EasyTop Universal Fit Roof Rack # Y07418 Fit 2018 Honda-V
  • Actually the Yakima EasyTop Universal Fit Roof Rack # Y07418 that you referenced comes with straps so you would not need to pick out a set.

  • Roof Rack and Assisted Paddleboard Carrier Recommendation 2019 Honda HR-V with Flush Rails
  • Thule did completely change their roof rack designs recently so there definitely isn't a way to adapt your old rack to fit your 2019 Honda HR-V with flush rails. The Rhino Rack RVP roof rack part # RR55QJ is a confirmed fit for your vehicle though and would be a great option unless you wanted an assisted board carrier like you mentioned. Assisted carriers need a rack that has bars that overhang past the feet of the rack like with the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118S-2, # RRRCL4,...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for 2020 Honda HR-V with Curt Class I Hitch
  • Based on your dimensions you do need a 1 inch rise. Now that said Class I hitches you have to use only the recommended ball mount from the manufacturer would be the part # C45521. Due to the lower capacity of the Class I hitches using a longer or larger ball mount might cause excessive strain on the hitch. For a hitch ball you'd want the # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or # A-80 for 1-7/8 inch hitch ball.

  • Can the Trunk/Hatch Be Opened with the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack Installed
  • In regards to using a truck mount bike rack like the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR, you will not be able to open the hatch/trunk with the rack attached as you risk damage to the vehicle. The trunk/hatch is not designed to support lifting the weight of the rack and it can shift while in motion causing further damage. That said, this is not just a rule for the Saris Bones but all rear mount bike racks. If you want to be able to open the hatch/trunk with a rack you'll have to...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Honda HR-V 2WD for Carrier and Scooter
  • For your 2018 Honda HR-V, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7322. This is the only 2 inch receiver we have compatible with your vehicle and you will need a 2 inch receiver for most carriers compatible with a scooter. This hitch will have a 300 lb tongue weight rating, so your 73 lb carrier and 81 lb scooter will get you to 254 lbs of your 300 lb total capacity so it will work well. Any of the 1-1/4 inch receivers would not be able to work...

  • 2022 Honda HR-V Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendations for Sea Kayaks
  • Since your 2022 Honda HR-V has the flushed rails all of the roof rack fits will have the same crossbar spread as they used pre-existing fixed points to anchor the roof rack. So what it will boil down to for your application is price vs quality and for the best option I recommend the Inno Aero roof rack setup: 51" Aero Crossbars - # INXB130-2 Through Feet - # INXS450 Fit Kit - # INTR159 The Inno brand has a sleek look and doesn't lack in quality, plus their price point is really hard to...
